Safely home but sick
So I came back last week after a very busy, exhausting, and incredibly fun trip to Zurich. The trip back was mostly uneventful. I really wanted to sleep on the flight, so I stayed up late the night before so I’d be exhausted while on the long haul flight back to Seattle.
This, of course, didn’t work. I fell asleep on the plane, and when I woke up I figured most of the flight had past, but only 5 minutes had went by. And I couldn’t fall asleep after that.
And to add insult to injury (or in this case, insomnia), the 10 hours of recycled air on a dirty plane gave me a really bad cold. Because of the cold, I was home sick for basically all of last week. I had to force myself to go on a short walk with Crissy on Thursday because I had been in the apartment for over 80 hours straight at that point.
I even forced myself to go to work on Friday, just to get out of the house!
I was close to going crazy being stuck at home. Since I was half asleep, I couldn’t do anything useful and I ran out of “brainless” things to do pretty quickly — I mean, you can only watch so much inane TV.
Anyway, if you’re one of my approximately two readers, you know that I didn’t have time on my trip to blog . I plan to write a few posts to talk about the trip. And instead of a chronological summary (like my India Trip posts), I’ll try a series of more topical posts.
You’ll have to tell me if this is better or not. :-)
